Tom Cunningham
played by Ellis Hollins

Having lost both of his parents at an early age, Tom always relied on brother Max and his best mate OB to protect and care for him. Max was tragically killed on his wedding day while saving Tom from drunk driver Niall Rafferty. OB has also moved away to be with his girlfriend who is a performer in the West End. Tom now lives with Max's wife Steph, his half sister Cindy, and her daughter Holly. Eight year old Tom is less than impressed with the high female presence in the flat and craves the attention of male role models. Steph has recently got Tom involved in her dance classes.

Tom is Ellis' first TV role, and has so far helped to fill his trophy cabinet with several awards.
